This Plasma Car is like magic (giveaway!) 11/13

This neat little scooter is the brand new IT toy.  I was curious to see how this works and slightly skeptical. See, it requires no pushing or batteries and runs on its on by turning the wheel it propels itself forward. TYou are supposed to lean forward and thats it, you just go. yes on flat ground. Strange, huh? So I got it going outside... worked. Figured with this tile with this deep grooves by my grout it wouldn't work. Nope. I was wrong, it works like a charm! I can turn this thing on a dime. I weigh 140 lbs and it supports up to 200! I didn't even really have to lean forward. Giana had a little trouble with it at first but now she goes and goes and goes. My little girls neighbor friend comes over and immediately jumps on it and rides it. I even got Devonny on it and she can make it go. She is only 1 and a half. She cannot make it steer but she can run it into a wall and figured out that shaking the wheel makes it go! Wow! Granted, this toy is only for children 3 and up, but I just wanted to see if she could.. and well, she can! I even have a hard time not getting on it and riding it around the house. Devonny finds this quite amusing (as do my friends and neighbors) to say the least!

It has five wheels; two larger back wheels and three smaller front wheels. One that barely ever touches the ground is it's magic wheel. You can see it in the pictures below.

It's so funny how I never notice a product until I get it for a blog review. It happened again! This time I saw three of them at our local inflatable bounce house. Unfortunately one of them was in pretty bad shape, but it's not hard to figure out why!

The PlasmaCar is a plastic ride-on toy car designed for children, made popular by Canadian toy distributor PlaSmart. The PlasmaCar can be propelled by wiggling the front steering wheel which is attached to two pivoting wheels touching the ground. It harnesses the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction in order to drive the car forward and backward. It does not require a power source such as batteries, fuel, pedals, or gears - it simply runs on the child's ability to wiggle the steering wheel. It can be operated indoors and/or outdoors, though it works best on a smooth, flat surface.

Putting it together was quite easy, even though Noah was deployed I didn't have too much trouble with the instructions. The only thing that confused me was that the brand claims it's good for exercise. I don't see how you get a ton of exercise from it, since you are really only moving your arms, but I am no fitness expert. The cutest thing I thought was (besides the fact that the kids love it) was the little footprints design where you place your feet. it's the little details that set this car apart form others. I think this is the neatest thing, and I am so glad I got the opportunity to test it out! Thanks for sending it to us PlasmaCar!

My favorite was the yellow, but we were sent the red which is just as cute. Giana- I know without even asking, would have wanted the pink.
